There's another one worth watching. This is a fragment from a Polish documentary called The Parade by Andrzej Fidyk. It was made in 1989, when the North Korean government celebrated the 40th anniversary of the state's founding, trying hard to overshadow the Summer Olympics which took place in South Korea the year before. Polish filmmakers were the most disciplined of all the teams invited from the countries considered as friendly towards the totalitarian regime at the time. They followed every rule and used all the instructions provided by the North Korean government without any commentary, gaining them a praise from the hosts. Ironically, the ridiculously positive statements made about Kim Il-Sung, along with the footage reveal in fact the reality of the totalitarian system at work. The viewers outside of North Korea could easily recognize the artificial behaviour of their officials, the absurdity of their propaganda and the critical points made by the filmmakers. Again, there was no need for additional commentary, the totalitarian government ridiculed itself without any help.
